Your wedding day in Orange County is a celebration of love—and smart planning. By completing an approved Florida premarital course, you’ll gain valuable relationship skills, save money on your marriage license, and skip the mandatory waiting period. Read on to discover how this simple four-hour, fully online course delivers real benefits for couples marrying in Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee, and beyond.
Expertly Crafted for Your Success: To ensure the highest level of relationship guidance, this curriculum was designed and developed by Kristen Franzen, a board-certified Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Florida LMHC MH22317) and National Certified Counselor (NCC License #1727660).
1. Save $25 on Your Marriage License Fee
Florida law reduces the standard marriage license fee from $86 to $61 when at least one partner completes a state-approved premarital course. At just $14.49 for our online course, you’ll walk away with more than you spent—keeping an extra $10.51 in your wedding budget. See the official requirements in Florida Statutes §741.0305.
2. Waive the 3-Day Waiting Period
Orange County residents normally face a three-day waiting period between obtaining a license and performing the ceremony. Presenting your premarital course certificate at the time of application eliminates that delay—so you can apply and marry on the same day. For details on locations, hours, and application steps, visit the Orange County Clerk’s Marriage License page.
3. Strengthen Your Relationship Foundations

- Communication Mastery: Speak and listen with clarity and compassion.

- Financial Teamwork: Plan budgets, set savings goals, and avoid money stress.

These skills form the backbone of a resilient partnership that lasts well beyond the wedding day.
